That why i onlysaid a pocket 25. would be more handy& pocketable- then a 10 foot stick - (but not better no)-i do thinka good longsharp stick would bemore effective also in many cases.(just not portable/pocketable)

A lady who worked withthe wife at the hospital( in ny)- she was shot 7 times with a pocket 25.(dont know what brand) she threw herself threw the window getting away from her husband& his gun- all wounds where superfical-( most in the limbs(2 in the butt&1 stuckin the back)but they did penatrate some-Itbounced off his forehead?man thats pretty bad penatration .



Id think both be pretty marginal in some same type situations& withshort barreled guns (and compared to the more powerfull rounds of course are).(tho on paper anyways- the 25acp has the edge over the 22 maybe
'(if i remember right)? I was never impressed with its power or high ammo cost over a 22 cal& the reason i never got one in 25 acp )
